3 suspects accused of trying to smuggle drugs through airports

New York (CNN) -- In a pair of unrelated incidents, three suspects were apprehended at New York-area airports within days of each other for attempting to smuggle $1.4 million worth of cocaine and heroin through customs, federal officials said Friday.

In the first incident, on October 30, a woman was found with 30 pounds of cocaine hidden in wooden hangers and clothing, according to a news release from Customs and Border Protection's New York field office.

The woman, Antoinette Gutierrez, was selected for a routine baggage inspection upon her arrival from Costa Rica at Newark Liberty International Airport, the agency said. In addition to the hidden cocaine, her clothing was soaked in liquid cocaine, it said. It put the value of the narcotics at more than $660,000.

Two days later, on November 1, two men were taken into custody at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport after heroin was found in their checked luggage, the agency said.

Customs and Border Protection officers selected the two men, Jeffrey Pena and Edwin Ortiz, for an enforcement examination and found the clothing in their suitcases to be particularly heavy, the agency said. Upon closer inspection, officers found packages of a brown powdery substance in some pants and shorts.

In total, Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than 16 pounds of heroin contained in brick-like packages, the agency said. It valued the heroin at $744,000.

Spain seizes 22 tons of hashish

Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish customs police said Friday they have seized 22 tons of hashish and arrested three Dutch sailors in an operation they described as the biggest drug haul in a decade and one of the five biggest in its history.

The government credited an air-surveillance operation for the interception, which was launched after customs officials learned that a 40-meter fishing vessel flying a Dutch flag might try to carry a cargo of hashish to Spain from Morocco, the government said in a posting on its website. On Thursday, the plane alerted a patrol boat, which intercepted and boarded the suspect vessel, called the Nancy II, after getting authorization from Dutch government officials

TBH the sizure is nothing... as far affecting supply...

Sadly this isnt very uncommon. Why anyone would put there kids at risk like that is beyond me.
 
He is fucked? Maybe im not familiar with Oxycontin laws... how much prison time would he be facing for just a few hundred pills?
 
depending on the state.. you're dealing with a Schedule II substance and trafficking Oxycodone can cause you some time. And the other stuff doesn't help much either. In florida we have maximum minimum.
 
Father, son arrested in Peregrine drug bust

A father and son whose former Colorado Springs home allegedly tested positive for dangerous levels of methamphetamine have been arrested on drug possession and conspiracy charges. Brian P. Marshall, 54, and his son, Martin A. Marshall, 19, are scheduled to be in court Wednesday to be advised of the charges. Colorado Springs police arrested them Friday following an investigation into tests earlier this year by an independent industrial hygienist. The tests results found that methamphetamine had been manufactured in the Marshall?s previous home at 2350 Orchard Valley Road in the affluent Peregrine neighborhood in northwest Colorado Springs, police said. That house is the subject of a lawsuit filed in El Paso County District Court on Sept. 21 by a couple who had purchased the property for just over $1 million. Bryan Groth and Kimberly M. Gielarowsky alleged in the suit that Brian Marshall failed to tell them that the house had been exposed to methamphetamine. The couple said they only learned about it through an anonymous letter that arrived in their e-mail shortly after the closing on the house. The letter warned them to test one of the bedrooms for methamphetamine. They later learned that Marshall?s ex-wife Monica had e-mailed the real estate agency the day after the closing to inform them that she had gone to the police department with information that meth had been cooked and used in the house. According to the lawsuit, the real-estate agent told the couple ?to disregard any phone calls from Monica Marshall, the defendant?s crazy ex-wife who is spreading lies about the property.? But about a week-and-a-half after the closing, Monica Marshall approached the couple and showed them photographs of drugs on the property. She also gave them a copy of a police report that showed Martin Marshall had been arrested on unrelated drug charges. Colorado Springs police previously arrested Martin Marshall on June 12 after an officer found a baggie with 31 white pills in his pocket. Police said tests later revealed the pills were Alprazolam, a controlled substance. That charge is pending trial. The new owners of the home hired a firm that found unsafe levels of methamphetamine in the house and advised them it was uninhabitable and not to enter without a biohazard suit, according to the lawsuit. A lawyer for Marshall replied to the lawsuit by denying any breach of contract and describing some of the allegations made in the suit as groundless and frivolous.

Fishers meth lab bust

Fishers - Indiana State Police seized over 1,300 meth labs last year, making over 1,000 arrests statewide, the most ever. It shouldn't be surprising that another one was taken down last week. But where it happened is unusual even for undercover police. It happened in Fishers south of 141st Street and Howe Road.

Nearly every year, Fishers is named as one the best places to live in America. It's also been one of the nation's fastest growing towns.

"I originally moved to Fishers when it was only 8,000 people. So now that it's almost 60,000. It's changed quite a bit," said Fishers resident Terry Sheets.

The town has changed, and not the way anyone could imagine - especially the people in the neighborhood at 141st and Howe, where on Wednesday, police cars filled the long driveway breaking up what investigators describe as a large methamphetamine lab.

"The folks have been living there since April and we have reason to believe they'd been using and manufacturing since that time," said Sgt.Randy McFarland, Fishers Police.

Police arrested 36-year-old Timothy Phipps, 43-year-old Kristine Curtner and two others. Phipps and Curtner had been renting the home and garage since April and investigators say they were using the barn-style garage as a auto repair shop during the day and meth lab at night. Police also say Curtner's three children were in the home.

Investigators say they found an undisclosed amount of drugs, weapons, cash and even surveillance cameras in the home - all of it right next to a large subdivision filed with families.

"It could have exploded and caught the house on fire and neighboring homes as well," said Sgt. McFarland.

Crack cocaine found in girl's shoe at Dorchester school

BOSTON -- A significant amount of crack cocaine packaged for distribution was found in a girl’s shoe in Dorchester on Monday.

“That’s ridiculous. The parents should have control. That’s ridiculous. That shouldn’t even be near the children. It should not. If you’re doing it or not, they shouldn’t even have custody of those kids. That’s not right. It’s not right,” said Kim Jones, a preschooler’s aunt.

“It’s very dangerous,” said Isdon Cajuste, a preschooler’s father. “It’s not good.

Boston Police said a worker at the Walnut Grove Preschool center found the drugs after the child showed up at school.

Detectives spoke to the child’s father and escorted him through the parking lot. Later, they arrested him. A police source said the father took responsibility for the crack, saying it was his.

A young woman was escorted to a police cruiser as well. Police did not identify the woman, but said that at this point, the mother is not being arrested.

Parents arriving at the preschool to pick up their kids are outraged.

“I think all of them should go to jail because I’ve been through all this kind of stuff years ago, and it’s sad. As a parent, we do our job, let the police do theirs,” said Patricia McCoy, a preschooler’s great aunt.

Why is is always so surprising when a drug bust goes down in a "nice" neighborhood? Do rich white people think they are impervious to drugs? Do they have no idea how much their kids do drugs with the copious amounts of money given to them by their parents..?


on another note, the thread title gave me an idea. Why not cook meth on a boat, as long as its a relatively calm day - you would be able to avoid detection via smells for sure.
 
Not to enter without a biohazard suit that sounds a little extreme no?
